To transform Africa’s insurance landscape.
We drive education, advocacy, and reforms that build trust, expand access, and empower people through protection and growth.
About IGAN Africa
Building trust, access, and resilience through insurance education.
IGAN Africa is a pan-African public interest initiative committed to strengthening trust and access to insurance by championing education, fostering advocacy, supporting research, and encouraging meaningful reforms.
Who We Are
A continental movement for insurance trust and inclusion.
IGAN Africa believes insurance is one of the most powerful tools for economic resilience and social protection. Yet millions across Africa remain excluded due to low awareness, misinformation, distrust, affordability challenges, and limited accessibility.
IGAN Africa was founded to bridge this gap. We work with regulators, insurers, governments, development organizations, researchers, communities, educators, intermediaries, and industry leaders to help create an insurance ecosystem that is trusted, inclusive, people-centered, and future-ready.
Our work connects public education, advocacy, research, professional development, ecosystem collaboration, and community engagement to help transform how insurance is understood, trusted, and used across Africa.
An Africa where education builds trust.
We envision an Africa where advocacy expands access and insurance empowers resilient, thriving communities.
Our Long-Term Aspiration
Making protection part of everyday financial planning.
We envision an Africa where knowledge dissemination, public awareness, and financial education empower individuals, families, entrepreneurs, and communities to view insurance as an essential part of everyday financial planning.
Our long-term aspiration is to help build a culture where budgeting for protection becomes as natural and important as budgeting for food, education, healthcare, housing, business growth, and other basic needs and long-term priorities.
